The latest horror

[Eichhörnchen]

Remember the Easter Bunny riding a lamb? https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2662032&postcount=1

Well this came today from eBay... how does she find this stuff?



https://i.imgur.com/n2K7jAI.jpg

[skidman]

Convince her to use it for your daily breakfast routine (milk jug?). An awkward moment, a little nudge with the elbow and it's gone.

[Aktungbby]

Well....the 'estate sale' will be an an interesting affair!:O:

[Jimbuna]

Have Moira tested for COVID Glynn, I fear she may have lost her sense of taste :o

[Eichhörnchen]

^ she liked that one :haha:

[Jimbuna]

Tis always good to know when one-liners are taken in the context intended :03:

[Eichhörnchen]

:) No, I wouldn't have told her if I didn't know she'd laugh. She's like me & enjoys being ribbed :haha:

[Catfish]

She's much better than you deserve! :03::O:

I think this one is relatively harmless, compared the the lamb-bunny contraption.. do you remember the inherited hatched-egg-easter assemblage of my wife's family? :D

[Aktungbby]

Tis always good to know when one-liners are taken in the context intended :03:Thank God for that BBY!:har:

[Skybird]

Whatever you have done to her, she must have taken it very serious. :03: Revenge is a dish best served in one of these. ^

[Jeff-Groves]

I don't work over on your side of the Pond but I could hit that at 110 yards.
:D

[Commander Wallace]

:) No, I wouldn't have told her if I didn't know she'd laugh. She's like me & enjoys being ribbed :haha:



I'm sure Moira can appreciate a good Joke. After all, she married one. :haha:



* Ducks and runs *


* Notices I have been removed from your xmas card list. * :D

[Catfish]

^ :rotfl2:

also Skidman's awkward moment :haha:


We have a porcelaine cow as a milk dispenser :oops:

[Reece]

What's wrong with it?:hmmm: I thought it was lovely. :yep:

[vienna]

^Kiss up...

I found this wrapped up in tissue paper and hidden in the pantry about an hour ago. She says she bought it in a charity shop a while back because she "had an idea" (meaning some kind of craft project)

I said "Here's an idea... chuck it in the bin"

[Jeff-Groves]

If it's made of brass or bronze?
The "Idea" may have been to beat you to death with it.
:hmmm:

:hmmm:OH dear....:hmmm:....

[Catfish]

^ Oh DEER .. :03:

I think it could look quite good in the right environment :hmmm:

On the other hand, if it's made of brass or bronze, you could melt it and create another sculpture :hmmm:

[ET2SN]

^ Oh DEER .. :03:



You don't act married. :03:

That is, literally, the "Oh Dear.." reminder sculpture as in "Oh dear, (when you have a spare minute) remember to pull up the old shrubs and plant the new ones". :yep:


:k_confused:

[Eichhörnchen]

It's ceramic with a chromed metal glaze, probably not heavy enough to beat me to death with... but it did make me feel a little ill when I first saw it

[ET2SN]

BTW, if you look closely, the deer in back is pushing the deer in front in a direction it wasn't even thinking about. :o

If you look even more closely, the deer in front is wearing its favorite football jersey and holding a remote.


:k_confused:

[Jimbuna]

Looks like a classic case of 'dear porn' to me.

[Aktungbby]

Looks like a classic case of 'dear porn' to me.Indeed! Poor Eich: sneakkin' around his own pantry, finding secret wifey projects...he's in a bit of a springtime rut to say the least.:arrgh!:

[Sean C]

Have Moira tested for COVID Glynn, I fear she may have lost her sense of taste :o


:har: Best of 2021 right there!

[Armistead]

a nice creamer for your coffee and you're complaining.

[Reece]

Spot on there mate, a damned good creamer especially when having guests. :yep:

[Skybird]

Use it as ammunition for a high pressure air cannon. You only lived when you flattened someone with a golden bambi.

Dude, our wives must never, ever meet! :o

[Catfish]

Dude, our wives must never, ever meet! :o
:rotfl2:


And I wonder whether our wives secretly met before :88)

[Texas Red]

Looks like a classic case of 'dear porn' to me.

Don't even try to get people to like that sort of thing! We don't need society to go down the rabbit hole farther by doing stuff like that! :timeout:

And I wonder whether our wives secretly met before

They have. I know that. I run a secret organization called CONFIDENTIAL my eyes only :03:
that sends random people to meet certain people so I can know all about everyone.

That's how I KNOW that August and Catfish's wives secretly did meet before! In fact, they met right here on Subsim! You see, every person on this forum is someone you know and you don't know that this person is on Subsim.

I also know that recently a certain forum member here had to explain to the plumber that the dog was part of the forum members family and thus the plumber cannot take the dog.

That's how I also know that Eiikey over here has a "Squirrel Zoo" in his backyard.

So be careful what you say! Big brother or big sister may be watching! :arrgh!:

[Jeff-Groves]

Big brother or big sister may be watching! :arrgh!:
Or just a Whacko!
:haha:

[Reece]

Ooo, dems fighting words!! :har:

[Skybird]

On my day-long bicycle tour to the lands around Osnabrück yesterday, on the way through the forest leading to the Rubbenbruchsee I stumbled over a farmer'S meadow in Hellern, which is on the Western outskirts of Osnabrück (and a place where I lived and was happy for four years 30 years ago), who had arranged a malicious battle line of figurines waiting in ambush for the unsuspecting eyes of the uncareful jogger, trekker and cyclist, a panoptikum of horrors so disgusting that I froze in place and gasped for air.


https://i.postimg.cc/Zqgwjg5C/Horror.jpg (https://postimg.cc/Lqtk8xfp)


I took me quite some effort to keep on trying and escape the place alive without being frozen to death in disbelief.

[Buddahaid]

Target practice! :arrgh!:

[Catfish]

Target practice! :arrgh!:
:rotfl2::rotfl2:

"Is this art or can we chuck it out?"

[Eichhörnchen]

Looks like the kind of stuff our neighbours like to put in their garden... maybe to keep us indoors

[vienna]

<O>

[Jimbuna]

Great for keeping the stray cats and dogs off the garden :)

[Eichhörnchen]

- except that it was my son who brought this home. I've never seen anything like it :oops:

https://i.imgur.com/CmknssC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yYLimW5.jpg I'm going to hide it

[Catfish]

:o but but (t)

You.. have my sympathy.

[Skybird]

- except that it was my son who brought this home. I've never seen anything like it :oops:
He has some unfinished business with you, I assume...



:D

[em2nought]

Looks like a Botero. :D

[Eichhörnchen]

Looks like a Botero. :D

We do have one vase which is an Art piece... but this ain't it :haha:

[Jimbuna]

Quite a few examples advertised on Etsy as 'Bum' or 'Body' vase.

[Aktungbby]

- except that it was my son who brought this home. https://i.imgur.com/yYLimW5.jpg MAMA!!!

[em2nought]

I kind of like it, but then I think I could model for Fernando Botero. :har:

[Aktungbby]

...and then there's the Venus of Willendorf!!?? ie: nuthin' good
goes outta style...or is even original!:arrgh!:https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9d/f4/4a/9df44a9544aad81f688001bc3ab87a7c.jpg:o https://www.donsmaps.com/willendorf.html

[August]

Kinda looks like the Mother of the Wendol figure they found at the farmers cabin in the movie The Thirteenth Warrior.

This is bringing back long hidden memories. The more I look at this, the more I think we had one of these in our house.

[Eichhörnchen]

^ I bet you never had one of these - this came today & she said it's for her "Quirky Christmas Tree". If such a thing ever appears then there might be a fire

https://i.imgur.com/ChbLRIk.jpg

[Rockstar]

I don’t know if the British English dictionary definition of quirky is different than the one across the pond. But over here I’d have to say ‘quirky’ probably isn’t exactly the right word to describe it.

Quirky: unusual in especially an interesting or appealing way.

I’d go with the “non-conformist tree” decorated with only the finest examples of the most baffling, mystifying and perplexing ornaments known to mankind.

[ET2SN]

At least its Santa on a dinosaur. :D

It could have been Jesus or a former US President. :timeout:

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/Yucpa6k.jpg

The xmas decorations are coming out and this was just thrust under my nose -

"I got a real bargain with this"

"How much was it?"

"50 pence"

"You were robbed"

[Moonlight]

Wow Mr Squirrel, that monstrosity of a decoration is the bleeding pits, trip over accidentally on purpose and break it, don't make it too obvious though as she might smell a rat if you know what I mean. :yep:

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/3LMlXXx.jpg

In all my years of studying moths I never came across a caterpillar wearing a bow tie

Moira says her plan is to crochet a flower and glue this thing in the middle - :hmmm:

[Buddahaid]

Has it occurred to you that Moira may buy these creations just to annoy you?

[Tango589]

^ I bet you never had one of these - this came today & she said it's for her "Quirky Christmas Tree". If such a thing ever appears then there might be a fire

https://i.imgur.com/ChbLRIk.jpg

To be fair, this does look like the sort of thing I would put on our Xmas tree given half the chance! ��

You can have this one if you want it lol

I should stop looking at this thread because I just bought these two at Goodwill for $3 :D

[Eichhörnchen]

No they're actually very cute :yep:

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/6yakM60.jpg

It's out again and she's unrepentant - just a big screwed-up eyes smile when I laid eyes again on this Easter horror

[Catfish]

^ so you will not sell it? :hmmm:

[Reece]

so what's in the bowl E? :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

I couldn't sell it - she'd notice

This is a photo from last year, I think - in the bowl today she's put a large ceramic egg with chicks on it, so it looks even worse

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/zjq7Y8F.jpeg from Moira

[Skybird]

A marcipane elephant! Yummy!

[Eichhörnchen]

I think you'd break your teeth on this one :timeout:

[Sean C]

from Moira


Looks like he could use some moisturizer.

[ET2SN]

so what's in the bowl E? :hmmm:

Egg nog, obviously.
Or maybe egg salad? :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

Watch this space - she brought something back last week but somebody knocked it off the table and broke it. No, it wasn't me (she doesn't know who it was) but I foolishly offered to mend it. I'll post a photo when it's done

[Buddahaid]

Somehow, I'm having trouble believing you. :shucks:

Speaking of W-A-S, this could be a fetching trophy for a Grand Whack A Squirrel tournament. :yeah:

You'd have a built-in excuse as well, "But Dear, I PROMISED there would be a trophy!!!". :O:

[Eichhörnchen]

^ I asked her and she just said "No!" So you'll have to be content with the photo :Kaleun_Salute:

[ET2SN]

The photo I want is where its in Aktung's Man Cave. :har:

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/FcYBfSf.jpeg

Somebody dropped this shortly after Moira brought it home - it was not me! The beak was smashed so I fixed it up (against my better judgement) with Milliput clay and a paint retouch. I asked her to take a picture of it for Subsim sometime and send it to me as I'm away... so it should be borne in mind that she's done her best to make it look good. I would've photographed it on a shelf or a wall - no flowers - because it is actually a horrible lump and as heavy as a cannon ball.

[ET2SN]

Its also very judgmental, like its always saying, "That's nice but you could have done much better". :timeout:


:D

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/S4uZlcN.jpeg

She brought this home a week or so back. Maybe the bird will fall again and crush it - could happen

[Aktungbby]

...so where is Lawrence's Orionid walnut-meterorite displayed now?:O:

[Aktungbby]

The photo I want is where its in Aktung's Man Cave. :har: behind my tall stack of collectiblePlayboy and Civil War Times Illustrated magazines!:yeah: PS: mine is a Cro-Magon mancave...your's is a Neanderthall mancave!:hmph::arrgh!:

I'm going to show this to Moira - or maybe I should not :O:

She just saw it and said "I love it" but I'm not too worried - she's never likely to find another like it

[Catfish]

A new one for your consideration. To be honest I do not know what this is supposed to be.
Maybe a vase. Or some alien creature frozen in time and waiting for its coming-out.

This post will take Aktung back to the good old days..

Which end do you light? :arrgh!:

[Eichhörnchen]

Moira doesn't know what it is (although she likes it) except that you might stick flowers in the holes - maybe a "flower frog" she said

[Catfish]

^ maybe, this seems to be the best idea.
Have to shift my pms to tomorrow, sorry for the delay - all the best for now :salute:

[mapuc]

I tried to search for information via google lens-Without any luck

Moira's been troubled by a painful shoulder so bought a cushion on which to rest her arm in bed. Of course it couldn't be just any cushion. This thing scared the crap out of me last night when I pulled back the blankets - she says that it frightened her a couple of times too when she woke up during the night and it even scared her mother's dog. It's supposed to be a hedgehog

[Skybird]

^ Sounds perfect! :D

[Jimbuna]

I'm beginning to wonder if it is a house or a managerie your living in :har:

[Eichhörnchen]

It's a nut house

[Reece]

Mmmm, nuts!! :oops::D

It's a nut house

[Eichhörnchen]

Today: "Why did you buy that?" - "Because I liked it!"

(It's got a solar panel in its back to make the eyes light up after dark)...the correct response shouldn't ask why, but rather should be : "Jeeze honey, we're sure gonna have an interesting estate sale!:O:

[Platapus]

It is to keep birds and such away?

[Catfish]

^ Maybe to scare off passers-by :hmmm:
